Bruised Purple Footprints is a tool item that can be used on cosmetics. Equipping a cosmetic with this spell applied results in bright purplish-red flames being left in the player's wake as they move.

This effect is only visible around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not appear in gameplay, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, items with the Spell applied can be equipped at any time and display their effect on the loadout screen, even when it is not visible during games.

Prior to Scream Fortress 2015, it could be found during Halloween events inside of Haunted Halloween Gifts on Ghost Fort, or from a Pile Of Curses.
